PHYL mainly holds USD-denominated corporate bonds, though up to 20% of the portfolio may be foreign-denominated with a currency hedge applied. However, note that this fund may hold unlimited amounts of high-yield USD bonds from any issuer or geography, including sovereign and/or emerging-market debt. In addition, the funds mandate allows it to hold nearly any type of debt, including variable-rate, convertible, municipal, or MBS/ABS. PHYLs active manager applies both top-down economic analysis and bottom-up, fundamental research to identify issuers with improving credit profiles. The fund manages ongoing portfolio credit risk with daily risk assessments.
